Lime Emoji
Food
A bright green, oblong citrus fruit featuring a small green leaf attached to the stem. It captures the distinct look of a Persian or Key lime, contrasting with the more common yellow 🍋.
Usage Context
Widely used to represent tart flavors, sour snacks, or refreshing cocktails like margaritas and mojitos. It is the go-to icon for discussing zesty ingredients, health-conscious eating, or the specific shade of lime green.
History
Added to the Unicode standard in 2024, this emoji was introduced to fill a glaring gap in the fruit category. Users had long campaigned for a dedicated lime icon, as the yellow lemon often proved inadequate for describing green-skinned citrus varieties or specific culinary pairings.
